Andover · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Andover restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Andover
Andover fries across the market town - the George Yard and High Street cooklines cook from open to close, and the Bridge Street and Chantry Centre kitchens run alongside.
The kitchens differ, the grease is the same. Along Winchester Street, London Street and the parades beyond, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the roughest work it will ever take. Of the hundreds of food premises rated in Andover, most are frying in a cramped back kitchen.
We degrease the part of the system the Winchester Street and London Street cooks work under - the canopy, the baffle filters and the extractor fan. Done properly it pulls the way it was designed to, clearing heat and steam, holding a current TR19 Grease certificate, and running cooler, because a clean Andover fan is not fighting a greased one to move the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a hard-frying Winchester Street cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
We strip and degrease the canopy inside and out, clean or replace the baffle filters, and degrease the extractor fan and its housing - the part that quietly loses performance as grease loads the blades over a hard London Street service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Andover fire risk assessment and insurer have the record they ask for.
Filters
The standard for commercial cooklines: they trap grease and slow flame spread. Cleaned, or replaced when warped or corroded.
Common on older or lighter setups; they clog fast and pass grease through if neglected. We flag where a baffle upgrade is overdue.
On the odour and emission-controlled systems near Andover's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
An Andover cookline's extraction and its fire protection are one system - and a clean is the moment to check the join.
Nozzles aimed at the canopy and cooking points; grease build-up around them on a busy Winchester Street line is exactly what they exist to fight. We clean around them without disturbing the system.
Where the gas shuts off if extraction fails on a Winchester Street line, we work without tripping it - and flag it if it is not behaving.
Checked for the grease that would stop them closing - a quiet failure point on a London Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Andover
We are under Andover's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A Chantry Centre food unit in Andover had grease on the extract fan letting cooking smells drift into the mall. We degreased the fan blades and housing, rebalanced the impeller and restored the pull, clearing the smells and returning the air quality. The centre's facilities office took a recurring quarterly clean.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Andover service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Winchester Street cookline faster, so the kitchen runs cooler and the fan draws less to move the same air. A greased system is a fire risk, a failed inspection point and a comfort problem at once. Frequency tracks how hard you cook - the London Street takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Andover canopy, filters and fan, agree scope and frequency.
Remove filters and access panels, protect the cookline.

Questions
It depends how hard the kitchen runs. Under TR19 Grease, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day points to roughly every three months, moderate to every six, light to every twelve. A busy Winchester Street or London Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around London Street and High Street run a canopy, filters and a fan and often carry a heavy grease load for their size. We clean and certify them the same way as a full restaurant system.
Extraction cleaning covers the canopy, filters and fan; where the concealed duct run behind them is also loaded - as it often is in a tight Winchester Street kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a George Yard cookline can count against your score.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Andover has campus catering at Andover College, mess catering at the Army headquarters, and centre and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. Where a filter is warped, corroded or a mesh type that keeps passing grease, we say so and swap it - common on the older London Street takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Winchester Street and London Street are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
